Re: [Dx4win] Packet window formatting
Just a suggestion Steve. As you have to re-arrange windows to take advantage of the new bandmap. If screen real-estate is tight you can minimize the packet window after you connect since all the useful data appears in the Spot or Announcement window. That's what I do here. n...@aol.com wrote: I cannot find anything in the help file, so would appreciate knowing how to change the display format within the packet window.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet window formatting
As one might expect, this was cockpit error. On version 7, I had part of the world map window covering the scroll bars on the packet window, so thinking the packet window in version 8 was the same size was wrong. Everything works in v8 as it was in v7. Sorry for the bandwidth, and thanks especially to Jim for coming in where my brain cells no longer tread In a message dated 8/16/2009 7:09:16 A.M.

Re: [Dx4win] Packet window formatting
Hi Steve, The Packet Window did not change in V8. Did you import your preferences (via .INI file) from V7 to V8? My Packet Window looks exactly the same in V7 and V8. Maybe the cluster node you're connecting to is sending out a wider format. You can set SET/WIDTH to narrow it. 73 - Jim AD1C On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 6:26 PM, n...@aol.com wrote: I cannot find anything in the help file, so would appreciate knowing how to change the display format within the packet window.
